Shop assistant Saturday afternoon

KadoLokaal is a gift shop in the center of Wageningen; a collaboration between the organization Match and Work and the Pantarijn vocational training center. The shop is committed to contributing to an inclusive society: one that offers opportunities to everyone. KadoLokaal is therefore happy to partner with other initiatives, such as the Maatjesproject (Maddies Project).

At KadoLokaal, you'll find original and handmade gifts. Each one has its own story, made by students and clients, as well as small local businesses and artists. KadoLokaal is also the go-to place in the city center for a variety of regional products and beautiful plants.

There are no classes or daytime activities on weekends and during holidays. Many customers come to the store on those days, so we need you to help us keep it open!

Do you believe in local, responsible products and love gifts and people? We'd love to hear from you if you have any questions or would like to get involved.

Your tasks:

• You'll work with a colleague to keep the shop running for half a day. You'll open the shop, start the cash register, and check if the plants need watering. You'll check out customers and wrap gifts. You'll answer customers' questions and hope to get them excited about the shop by sharing the KadoLokaal story.

• Sometimes you work together with a student from Pantarijn or a candidate from Match and Work.

• If you'd like, there are plenty of other tasks to do behind the scenes. Think of washing aprons, keeping the store tidy and clean, creating the schedule, and contributing to communication and social media. We take initiative and contribute seriously.

What are we asking?

• You have a customer-friendly attitude.

• You are available at least one Saturday afternoon every four weeks or the shopping Sunday afternoon.

• After an induction period, you can work independently.

• You have a sufficient command of Dutch to speak to customers.

What do we offer?

We do it together! You'll be part of a group of about 12 passionate and committed volunteers.

• You will be trained and shown the ins and outs of the store.

The shopping schedule is set at least one month in advance. We will, of course, take your preferences into account. Two people are usually scheduled so you're not alone.

• We offer all our volunteers a volunteer contract.
